Former PSU D Coordinator Sandusky Faces Sex Charges

Penn State has a long standing reputation of being a moral compass in college athletics. Head coach Joe Paterno has always focused on trying to recruit kids who will go to class and get an education on top of being pretty good athletes.

It's what has made Penn State stand out over quite a few other noteworthy programs during his 46 year tenure.

I imagine I'm not the only Penn State alumni who is completely shocked to hear the news that former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky was indicted on felony sex crime charges.

According to the Patriot-News, Sandusky is facing 40 counts of various crimes. A two year grand jury investigation resulted in the indictment. The alleged charges range from 1996-2005. Makes you wonder if Sandusky's autobiography, "Touched: The Jerry Sandusky Story", had more of a hidden meaning to the title.

I am sick over this, or any time a kid gets abused in anyway. The way I understand it is Paterno did tell the AD. But why didnt he go to police if this is true. And when he knew thw AD didnt, why didnt he go then??? I love PSU but WTF!

I am absolutely disgusted as a PSU alum. I cannot believe how many people let such a disturbing string of incidents go on like this. So many people just decided well I told the person above me not my problem anymore. The assistant, Joe Pa, and any person who knew about this and didn't go directly to the police should be absolutely ashamed of themselves.

I couldnt agree more! As much as i love Joe Pa if this is all true, its time to leave now!

The other 2 are in just as big of trouble for not reporting it. I don't give a rats *** what consenting adults do, but anything having to do with kids, especially abusing your power or your position is sickening.

On another note those of you with a smartphone should get the App Life360, you can view sex offenders everywhere, amongst many other cool features. I showed my son and he recognized a guy who comes into the gym that he works out at.http://www.life360.com/
